If an Enchantment or Divination Works Against a True Seed of God, What Is the Explanation?
1) Direct Answer
No spell truly works on a true seed walking in the Light. The Bible says, “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel” and “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper.” If something seems to “work,” it is either a bluff and fear tactic, a door opened by disobedience, or a trial God Himself permitted—never the power of witchcraft overruling the Blood.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Numbers 23:23—Balaam could not curse whom God had blessed.
- Isaiah 54:17—No weapon formed shall prosper against God’s heritage.
- 1 John 5:18—He that is born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one touches him not.
- Luke 10:19—Authority over all the power of the enemy; “nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
- Galatians 3:13—Christ redeemed us from the curse.
- Colossians 2:15—Jesus spoiled principalities and powers.
- Proverbs 26:2—The curse causeless shall not alight.
- Job 1–2—Satan could not touch Job except by God’s permission and only within limits.
- Revelation 2:14; Numbers 25; 31:16—When Balaam couldn’t curse, he enticed to sin; judgment came from God because of Israel’s disobedience, not because enchantment had power over the covenant.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If Balaam could have cursed God’s people, why did he have to lure them into sin? Because he had no power over the blessed. The only “inroad” is when people leave the Word and give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27). Then consequences are God’s chastening, not the triumph of sorcery.
- Sometimes God permits a Job-like trial to glorify His Name. That is not divination conquering a believer; it is God proving His child and setting bounds on the enemy.
- Many “workings” are fear, suggestion, or coincidence misread as a curse. The Cross broke the legal right of every curse. Stay under the Blood, and the spell has no landing place.
Short Reinforcing Counsel
- Renounce and break all contact with occult things (Acts 19:19).
- Repent of any known sin; shut every door (James 4:7; 1 John 1:9).
- Stand on the Word, put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–18), and speak the Name of Jesus.
Final Conclusion
For a true seed, no enchantment can prevail. If harm appears, it is either a lie of fear, a door opened by disobedience that calls for repentance, or a strictly limited trial permitted by God for His glory. The spell itself has no authority over the Blood-washed.

The Seed is not heir with the shuck

But when the seed was delivered. It said, "I come to do the will of him that sent me. I and my Father are one. If I do not his works, believe me not." There was the seed. "Which one of you can condemn me of unbelief? What the Bible's promised I do, I done it. God has verified that through Me!" He said. "Who can tell Me now, the seed..." But the seed in Mary, the shuck, it was close to being that, but it wasn't. It was still in the womb. Notice. And in the Pentecostal age, through the Lutheran age, through the Wesle...

Watch! The Word itself---yet twelve years old, just a little bitty thing back in the shuck---He said, "Don't you know I must be about my Father's business?" The Word corrected the church right there. "What are you doing all these things for? You know you can't do this. We'll close up our doors. We won't let you come in." "For know ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" Sure, sure, the true supernatural. Charmed ... she just claimed Him to be Joseph's son, a mere man; or what Pentecost did, just claimed...

They was in the presence of God, and these Hebrew scholars did not recognize that. And they said in their hearts, "This man is a fortune-teller, or a Beelzebub, which is a devil. Fortune-telling is of the devil. All them works of darkness is of the devil: soothsayers, and these mind readers, telepathies, and all that is of the devil. It don't preach the gospel, save souls. The fruits of the spirit prove what it is. Jesus said, "By their fruits you shall know them." Did not Jannes and Jambres stand right with Moses?...

But when we got over there, and just started the singing, up come a great powerful storm. There was about twenty on one side of me, and twenty on the other, and they were all going through their enchantments and cutting their feathers with scissors, and going through things like that to throw the spell. And all of a sudden, that great thirty thousand tent begin to quiver, and shake, and the winds blowing. And I was preaching and Something said, "Stand still!" Hallelujah! (I don't say, "Excuse me." That means "prais...

Politics---voting in, voting out, saying this, that, or the other. And the Holy Spirit has no more right-of-way in the church than nothing. No more prayer meetings, no more agonizing with God to fulfill His Word. No more believing that the Word is still the same yesterday, today, and forever. They just vulturize down, got a denomination, put their name on the book, got lazy and soft, and sits back there gloating on some kind of dead a-carrion. And then supposed to be at least a hawk that's a similar brother to the...
